Dallas Mayor Details Why Dallas Needs Another NFL Franchise

Dallas is a Cowboys town, at least for now.

With the NFL continuing to be this country’s #1 sport, expansion plans continue to take place. There’s no doubt down the road there will be more NFL teams, which means either they will be hosted in brand new cities, or big markets will eventually add more teams. There’s already two teams in Los Angeles and New York, now there are talks about Dallas getting a second team.

The mayor of Dallas Eric Johnson is lobbying for Dallas to land another NFL  franchise. He took to Twitter and responded to a tweet from the NFL on CBS account asking which city the league should pick for an expansion team.

“The answer is Dallas. Why? We are about to pass the Chicago metro and become the #3 metro in the US, which would make us the largest US metro WITHOUT 2 teams,” Johnson wrote. “Football is king here. Dallas needs an expansion team and we would be able to sustain 2 @NFL teams better than LA or NY.”

There’s no doubt the state of Texas can get behind a third NFL team, but how would Jerry Jones feel about it? Hard to say, but if it somehow adds value to his already billion dollar franchise, I can totally see him supporting it.
